It wasn't long ago when we were all giggling at David Beckham and his kids getting covered in golden goo at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards.

And now the footballing star's pal Gordon Ramsay has had his own taste of getting gunged during Masterchef Junior.

The fouth-mouthed star took part in a race to see who could flip and stack the most pancakes with the losers having to tip a massive jugful of sticky syrup over the judge they were matched up with.

Ramsay warned his mini chef Oona that it took him ages to get his hair "just right" and hoped he wouldn't become a victim of gunging.

But even though she lost the challenge, stacking just eight pancakes compared to the other chefs' impressive 16 and 19 stacks, she was allowed to tip syrup all over Gordon - who was left looking stunning.

The other mini cooks on the US show, which is based on the UK's Junior MasterChef, stood by in fits of giggles.

It must have been difficult for Gordon, 48, not to blurt out the F-word as the sticky substance dripped down from his hair.

We can imagine quite a few people wanting to do this to the chef over the years.
